Chapter 1: The Next King of Games-Jacob's POV
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh GX only the Original characters of my creation. I do not own the links posted in the story nor do i own content the links lead to.
Just to let everyone know...there will be slight changes in character development, language, the plot, card effects and other stuff you might realize is different. I will put this before every chapter so won't forget this.
"Jacob. Wake up Jacob White. Wake up¸ today's the day you take the dueling part of your entrance exam."
Jacob slowly opened his eyes as he heard his mother's voice come from the kitchen. Jacob rolled on his side to look at the clock on his night stand. The clock read 8:26 A.M.
'That's right' Jacob thought 'Today is the day I officially get into Duel Academy. I'll finally be able to go to school with Drake. All I have to do is pass the dueling part of the exam. I'm pretty sure I did well on the writing part.'
Jacob began to pull the covers off of him when he heard his phone began to vibrate. He picked it up off his night stand and checked the text message he just received.
From: Drake
U ready?
He was glad to see that his best friend was concerned about his big day. Jacob couldn't wait to see Drake. The last time he saw Drake was the summer going into his 7th grade year, which was the first time he had met Drake. They had been best friends ever since.
To: Drake
Of course. You're gonna be watching the exams right?
Jacob returned the text message quickly and put his phone back on the night stand. He finally managed to get out of bed and walked to his closet and pulled out a black t-shirt and some jeans. He lay the clothes on his bed then walked over into his bathroom. Jacob looked in the mirror at his reflection. He moved his blonde hair out of his eyes to see more clearly. His black pupils glistened in his reflection and blonde hair needed to be fixed up. (Since I suck at describing faces I will post pics of what each original characters look like minus eye color and hair color. This is what Jacob looks like only with BLONDE HAIR and BLACK EYES. .com/entertainment/is-it-weird-if-people-think-anime-characters-are-cute/question-303965/?link=ibaf&imgurl=.&q=anime%2Bcharacters) Jacob brushed his teeth and went back to his room to put on his jeans and his black t-shirt he put out earlier. After pulling his shirt over his head he looked at the time. It was now 8:47 A.M. and he didn't have to be at the dome where the exam was being given until 10:00. Jacob looked under his bed and pulled out his duel disk.
'Soon I will have an official Duel Academy duel disk' thought Jacob.
"Jacob," Mrs. White called "I have breakfast ready if you want to eat."
"No thanks mom I'm good." Jacob yelled back.
Jacob couldn't eat now but not because he was nervous. He was too excited to be nervous; soon he was going to be a Duel Academy student. Jacob always wanted to go to Duel Academy but he had to take a late entrance exam because he didn't go to Gates Academy Middle School (My version of the duel prep school will be explained in greater detail in later chapters and stories). Gates Academy students were the only ones who were able to take the Duel Academy entrance exam during the summer. All other students had to wait until the first week of August to take the written part and until the third week of August to take the dueling part of the exam. Of course this didn't bother Jacob because this meant he got to miss the first week of school unlike the kids who were already accepted into the academy. Jacob sat at his desk and opened up the first drawer on the left and took his deck out. He looked through his cards and began to think about some possible strategies he would use today.
"My 3 Thunder Dragon combo should help me get an upper hand in the exam." Jacob said to himself. "Then again…aarrrgghhh there are so many strategies I can use."
Jacob continued to flip through his cards until he came across his favorite card, the Red Eyes Black Dragon. Jacob looked at the card his dad had given him for what seemed like hours. He admired the ferociousness of the dragon on the card. It seemed to just come to life when he looked at it.
"Jacob come on it's almost time for your test to begin and it's a 10 minute drive to the dome." said his mom.
"Okay mom I'm coming" Jacob replied.
Jacob looked at the time on his phone. It was 9:30 A.M. and it took about 10-12 minutes to get to the dome where the exam was being given. He would be there early but he didn't mind, he was way too excited to mind. Jacob grabbed his duel disk, deck, and his yellow backpack, walked into the garage to meet his mom who was already in the car. Jacob opened the door on the passenger side of his mom's 2006 E class Mercedes-Benz and got in. His mom started the car and pulled out of the garage and began to drive to the dome.
"Are you nervous?" Jacob's mom asked as she was driving.
"Nope, not at all. I'm more excited than anything. Soon I will be going to the same school as Drake." replied Jacob enthusiastically.
"It's so adorable how you and Drake are best friends. Your father and his father were best friends and still are. You know he comes back from his vacation with Drake's uncle tomorrow." said Mrs. White.
"Yea I know. I'll be able to tell him the great news that I got into Duel Academy." Said a grinning Jacob.
"Now Jacob I know you're excited but remember you still have to score high enough on this part of the exam to get accepted into the school." said Mrs. White with a serious tone in her voice.
Jacob turned and looked at his mom with a smirk on his face. His mom's orange hair seemed to compliment her dark brown eyes as the sun beamed on her face through the windshield. He was silently thankful that he looked more like his dad than his mother. He couldn't imagine life with orange hair.
"I know that I still have to pass the dueling part of the exam to get accepted into the school. But as long as I give it my all, then I won't have any problems. There isn't one person who can beat me when I give it my all. I usually don't even have to use half of my energy to beat someone. Besides mom there are two things that you overlooked. One, I never underestimate an opponent. Two, I want to be the best duelist out there. I want to be the next King of Games and I've never lost a duel since I started playing the game of Duel Monsters and I don't plan on doing so now."
Mrs. White looked at the smile on her son's face and couldn't do anything but give one in return
"I know you will do fine Jacob. Besides you were always a very humble person which is a good thing for someone like you." said Mrs. White
Jacob felt his phone vibrate in pocket and pulled it out. He received another text message from Drake.
From: Drake
Are u here yet?
Jacob sent his reply quickly.
To: Drake
I'll b there in like 2 mins. I see the dome comin' into view.
He was about to put his phone back in his pocket when it vibrated again.
From: Drake
I got some news u might be interested in. I went through some files the skool and you got a perfect score on ur writing part of ur exam.
Jacob read the message two times to make sure he read it correctly. He made a perfect score on his writing exam. If he wasn't strapped down in a seatbelt he might've jumped for joy. However, he wondered two things; how did Drake find these "files" and how did he not get caught. Jacob sent Drake another text message.
To: Drake
That's cool :D …but…how did u find these files 0.o
And how did u not get caught?
"Well we're here." Mrs. White said cheerily
Jacob looked out and saw the Duel Dome outside his window. He saw a few kids in normal clothes and others in yellow and blue blazers standing outside the entrance into the dome. Jacob figured the kids in the colored blazers were Duel Academy students and the other kids must be here to take the dueling portion of the entrance exam like himself.
Jacob got out the car and waved bye to his mom and began to walk to the entrance doors. He noticed two girls sitting a table right next to the door with a line of kids waiting behind the table.
'I'm guessing this is where the check-in is' Jacob thought to himself.
The line wasn't too long so Jacob got in line. He pulled his phone out to check the time. It was 9:49 A.M. and he noticed he had one text message from Drake.
From: Drake
Don't worry about how I found that stuff. Anyway r u here yet?
To: Drake
Yea I'm in line to check-in.
From: Drake
Text me when you get inside.
"Next in line please come forward." Jacob heard a feminine voice say.
Jacob had been texting Drake he didn't even realize he was at the front of the line. He walked up to the two girls sitting behind table. The two girls sitting at the table looked at Jacob. One girl had short light brown hair with matching light brown eyes and the other had shoulder length dark brown hair with black eyes. The two girls were wearing the white Duel Academy uniform shirts with a yellow trim around it. The girl with the light brown hair looked at Jacob and began blushing and the girl with the dark brown hair started giggling as she stared him.
"Umm are you here to take the dueling part of the entrance exam?" asked the girl with the dark brown hair.
"Of course he is Mary, why else would he be waiting in this line. And you didn't even ask how he was doing" said the girl with the light brown hair.
Jacob smirked at this comment causing the two girls go into a fit of giggles.
"Yea I am here to take the dueling part of the exam." said Jacob
"Ummm can I get your name please…so I can check you off the list" the girl named Mary quickly added the last part.
Jacob smirked again and once again it made the two girls giggle and blush.
"Jacob White" stated Jacob
The girl with light brown hair looked on the paper in front her looking for Jacob's name. He figured the one named Mary must have had a paper with last names A-M and the girl with light brown hair had last names N-Z.
"Ok Jacob you are checked off. You can now go in and sit until your name is called of the PA system. Once your name is called report to the appropriate dueling field and wait for your proctor to tell you to start." said the light brown haired girl.
"Ok thanks" said Jacob
"Good luck" said the girl named Mary and she blushed and turned her head away.
Jacob turned to walk towards the door when he heard the two girls giggling once again.
"He's cute" he heard the voice of the light brown haired girl.
"I know Ami, he is cute." said Mary
Jacob smirked inwardly and walked inside the doors into the dome. He saw academy students hanging around talking with one another along with examinees talking. Jacob walked out of the lobby into the main area with the stands and the dueling fields. Jacob walked down the steps and picked a seat right next to the aisle. Jacob sat in his seat and pulled out his phone. He looked at his phone to see a text message from Drake.
From: Drake
U inside yet?
To: Drake
Yea…
Jacob was about to put his phone back in his pocket when it vibrated again with another text massage from Drake.
From: Drake
What section are you sitting in?
Jacob looked around to see where exactly he was sitting. He looked behind him to see a giant letter H and then looked at the arm rest to see "row 115" engraved on the chair. Jacob took his phone out and began to text Drake back.
To: Drake
Section H row 115.
He sent the text message and put his phone back in his pocket.
"There you are…I've been waitin' on you for a long ass time" a voice said from behind Jacob.
Jacob turned around to see his friend Drake leaning on the rail behind his seat. Drake was about the same height as Jacob with long black hair and red pupils and an expression on his face that seemed to show the world all the indifference possible. Drake was wearing his Yellow Duel Academy blazer unbuttoned and a black t-shirt underneath. (once again since I suck at describing things here is a pic of what Drake looks like just imagine his hair to be black and his pupils to be red instead of purple. It's the pic with the 98%. .com/spots/anime-guys/picks/results/91306/u-hv-coafag-crush-on-fictional-anime-guy)
"You got here over here freakin' fast" pointed out Jacob.
"That's the wonder of dark powers." said Drake with almost no infliction in his voice.
"Do you go around using those all the time? I don't use my lightning or earth powers until it's absolutely necessary."
"Hn. It doesn't matter. If anyone were to see I'll just erase their memory"
"You figured out how to erase only certain memories? Last time you could only erase all of people's memories" asked Jacob
"Who said I figured that out" replied Drake, once again with no infliction.
"I see you're even more sarcastic now than you were back then"
"You thought I would be less sarcastic than I was back then?"
"To be honest…no" said Jacob
Drake had always been the more sarcastic one out of the two of them. That was probably one of the reasons the two of them got along so well. That and the fact they both had elemental powers. Drake had control of darkness and water while Jacob had control of lightening and earth; powers that had been passed down from their fathers.
"Jacob White please report to exam field 2. Jacob White please report to exam field 2."
"I would tell you good luck but you won't need it for these 3rd rate proctors they have here." said Drake pointing to the previously mentioned practice field.
"Really" said Jacob, his voice lined with skepticism "I heard the proctors were really tough."
"Hn. Please you won't break a sweat beating these guys. It's only these people with little skill at the game who have trouble. I've seen your skill firsthand and I know you will be fine." said Drake
"If you say so" Jacob said getting up from his seat.
Jacob walked out the doors back into the lobby of the dome and walked to the stair well. He opened the door and began to jog downstairs to the basement floor. He walked around the floor looking for the door would lead to practice field 2. Jacob walked down the hallway to his right until a door that read "Practice Field 2 entrance here" came into his view. He stepped in front of the doors and they opened automatically. Jacob walked over to the black square platform on the floor. Jacob stepped on the black platform. The platform began to light up and raise off the ground towards the ceiling of the room. The closer the platform got the ceiling, the more the ceiling began to open up. Once the platform was all the way up Jacob found himself on the right side of a dueling field.
"Hey kid how is it going?" asked a voice from behind him.
Jacob turned to see someone in a long blue Duel Academy blazer with spiky black hair and glasses on the opposite side of the practice field.
"Uh ok I guess."
"Are you ready to take the duel portion of your exam?" asked the proctor
"Yea" replied Jacob
"I hope so because I'm one of the toughest proctors here. So I hope you came with your 'A' game." Said the proctor
"I always come with my A game." said Jacob
"Good then let's duel" said the proctor as he inserted his deck into his duel disk. He duel disk began to light up and his life points appeared at 4000.
Jacob took his duel disk out of his backpack and fastened it to his left arm. Then he took his deck out of his deck holder that he had fastened to his hip and inserted it into his duel disk. Jacob's duel disk started to light up and his life point counter went to 4000
Jacob: 4000 Proctor: 4000
"You can go first kid." Said the proctor as he drew his five cards
Jacob nodded and drew his card from his deck. He looked at the cards he had in his hand. He had Thunder Dragon, Baby Dragon, Fusion Sage, Jinzo, Trap Jammer and Call of the Haunted in his hand.
'I better start off strong' thought Jacob
"I activate the effect of the Thunder Dragon in my hand." Said Jacob "when I send this card from my hand to the graveyard, I can move all Thunder Dragons from my deck to my hand."
Jacob put his Thunder Dragon card into the graveyard slot on his duel disk. Then he took his deck out of deck slot and flipped through the cards until he found the other 2 Thunder Dragon cards in his deck and added them to his hand. He then put his deck back in the deck slot and looked back at his hand.
"Now I activate Fusion Sage which lets me get one Polymerization card from my deck and add it to my hand." Said Jacob as he put the magic card into the magic and trap card zone of his duel disk.
Jacob took his Polymerization card out of his deck and added it to his hand.
"Now I activate Polymerization and fuse the 2 Thunder Dragons in my hand to make Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon" declared Jacob inserting his magic card into his duel disk and discarding the 2 Thunder Dragons. Jacob pulled his Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon card out and placed it on his Duel Disk. A large Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon appeared on Jacob's side of the field.
Twin Headed Thunder Dragon ATK: 2800 DEF: 2100
"I set one card face down and end my turn." Said Jacob as he put his Trap Jammer card face down. The hologram of a facedown card appeared behind his monster.
"Good move applicant. You started off with a heavy hitter with close to 3000 attack points. Very skillful, but let's see what you do with it. I summon Dark Blade." Said the proctor as he played his card on his duel disk. The monster Dark Blade appeared on the proctor's side of the field in front of Jacob's Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon.
"Now I'll play one card face down and end my turn" stated the proctor as he set a card face down in his magic and trap card zone.
Jacob: 4000
Twin Headed Thunder Dragon
Trap Jammer (Face down)
Proctor: 4000
Dark Blade
Face Down
"My turn" said Jacob as he drew his card from his deck. He drew Mystical Space Typhoon.
"I'll set one card face down." Jacob said placing Call of the Haunted in his duel disk "and I'll attack your Dark Blade with my Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon.
Jacob's monsters opened both of its mouths and began to charge up a lightening attack to shoot.
"Not so fast I activate my trap card Mirror Force" yelled the proctor as his face down card flipped up. "Now your monster will be destroyed."
"I activate my trap card, Trap Jammer" said Jacob " I discard one card from my hand and I can destroy one trap card that was just activated. Jacob put his Jinzo card in the graveyard to activate his trap. The Mirror Force card faded on the proctor's side of the field.
"Now Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon attack" said Jacob as his monsters shoot a dual blast of lightening at the Dark Blade monster. The proctor's life point counter dropped to 3000 (2800-1800=1000, 4000-1000=3000).
"And now im going to activate the Call of the Haunted card in my hand and bring back the Jinzo I discarded to use Trap Jammer."
Jinzo rose from the monster zone next to Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon and stood there with its arms crossed.
Jinzo ATK: 2400 DEF: 1500
"Now you can't use anymore trap cards. So it's going to be even harder to hurt me now." Said Jacob.
"Another good move applicant. Now I play this monster card face down and end my turn."
'That monster probably has some sort of special effect.' thought Jacob. 'I guess I'll humor the guy if I draw the right card this turn'
Jacob drew his card from his deck and looked at it. He drew Pot of Greed.
"I play Pot of Greed." said Jacob "Now I get to draw two cards.
Jacob drew two cards from his deck. He drew Graceful Charity and Trap Hole.
"Next I play Graceful Charity. I'm sure you know what this card does so there's no need to explain." stated Jacob. Jacob drew his 3 cards one of which was his Red Eyes Black Dragon. He discarded the other 2 cards he had just drawn.
"Finally I attack your face down monster with Jinzo."
"Wrong move applicant." said the proctor "You just attacked my Blast Sphere. Now my Blast Sphere gets equipped to your Jinzo and on your next Standby Phase you will lost life points equal to your monster's attack points."
The proctor's Blast Sphere uncurled and flew at Jacob's Jinzo and attached itself to its body.
Jacob smirked. "It doesn't matter you're all but done for now. Remember you now have no monsters protecting your life points. So there's nothing protecting you from my Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon's onslaught." Jacob said "Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon attack"
Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon shot another dual blast of lightening and the attack hit the procter causing him cough because of the smoke from the attack. The proctor's life points dropped to 200 (3000-2800=200).
"And lastly since I never summoned a monster I think it's about time I did that. I sacrifice my Jinzo and my Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon to summon my Red-Eyes Black Dragon. And because my Jinzo was just sacrificed your Blast Sphere's effect is voided." said Jacob, removing the two monsters from his field and placing them in the graveyard. Jacob pulled the Red Eyes from his hand and placed it on the field and a hologram of the dragon appeared on the spot where Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon had once stood.
"I end my turn."
"You've got me in a tight spot applicant. I summon Giant Soldier of Stone in defense mode." Replied the proctor. "I end my turn"
Giant Soldier of Stone ATK: 800 DEF: 2000
Jacob drew his card to start his turn. Jacob chuckled as he looked at the Fairy Meteor Crush magic card he had just drawn. "I guess I should end this now" he said with a smirk on his face.
"I play Fairy Meteor Crush and equip it to my Red-Eyes" said Jacob.
"When a monster equipped with Fairy Meteor Crush the difference between the defending monster's defense points and the attacking monster's attack points are taken out of the opponent's life points. Now Red-Eyes ATTACK" exclaimed Jacob
The Red-Eyes Black Dragon shot a fireball at the proctors Giant Soldier of Stone. The Giant Soldier of Stone faded away as the attacked connected with it and the proctor's life points dropped to zero.
Jacob: 4000 Proctor: 0
Jacob let out a sigh of relief when all of a sudden he heard lots of applause and cheers erupt from the stands. He looked up in the stands to see almost everybody in the dome applauding him. Jacob walked back over to the elevator platform still looking around at all of the people clapping for him. He stepped on the elevator platform and looking at all the people when he looked at the top level of the dome. He saw a girl with long blonde hair that went down to her mid-back standing next to a guy with long dark blue-black hair. The girl with blonde hair seemed to notice him to because she seemed to blush. The platform started going into the ground and the girl slowly grew out of his view as the platform went farther and farther down into the basement level.
'Who was that girl' Jacob thought as he walked off the platform and back do the hall to the stairwell. 'She was really pretty.'
When Jacob reached the door to the stairwell he saw someone leaning on the door with their arms folded.
"Didn't I tell you, you would be fine" said Drake with his usually no infliction voice as he opened the door to the stairwell
"Yea that duel was easy as hell."
"Told ya. That guy fucking sucked." said Drake
Jacob and Drake walked up the stairs until they reached the doors to the lobby. Drake stopped in front of the door and didn't open it.
"I'll hit you back later. I got some business to attend to." said Drake
"Okay that's cool. I'll text you later." replied Jacob
"Cool."
Drake held his right arm out in front of him, hand spread as if he were showing someone the number 5. Black mist appeared in front of him in the form of a portal (.com/watch?v=zMpZdAkVUpU&feature=related look at this video and watch the portal Axel walks into).
Drake walked into the portal which disappeared promptly afterwards. Jacob turned and walked through the doors into stairwell. He began to slowly walk up the steps.
'I can't get that girl out of my head. She was really hot.' thought Jacob.
Jacob continued up the stairs until he reached the doors that lead back into the lobby of the dome.
Jacob walked through the doors and began to walk to the Section H seats.
"Hey you did really well during your duel" Jacob heard a familiar voice say.
Jacob turned to see the two girls from the check in table, Ami and Mary, to his left.
"Yea you're really talented" said Ami who was slightly blushing. What was it with these girls?
"I agree with Ami" said Mary who was blushing a little more than Ami "I think you're probably the best applicant here."
"I think so too" Jacob heard a voice from behind him say.
Jacob turned around to see a red-headed girl who looked about a year older than him, with hair that stopped a little past her shoulders and blue eyes and wearing an academy uniform shirt like Ami and Mary's but with a blue trim instead of a yellow, standing with her hands on her hips.
"Hi my name is Naomi" she said extending her hand out for Jacob to shake.
Jacob shook the girl's hand and said "Hey my name is Jacob."
"Oh I know I just watched your duel. I deal with adding up exam scores, both written and dueling, and you got a perfect score on both parts. I'm not supposed to tell people their scores but I felt like someone with as much skill as you deserves to know ASAP." said Naomi.
"So that means I got accepted into the school" said Jacob with a wide grin on his face.
"Yep, I look forward to seeing you next week around school." said Naomi.
"Same to you" said Jacob as he turned to walk into the stands of the arena area.
"Why did you tell him his score" Jacob heard Ami ask behind him.
"Because, it gave me a reason to see him. He's super cute" said the girl named Naomi who was now giggling.
"I know right" concurred Mary.
Jacob walked back over to row 115 and took his seat back that was in earlier. He unfastened his duel disk, which he just realized was still on, off of his left arm. Jacob kicked his feet on top of the chair in front of him and began to look around the upper level of the arena to see if he could spot the blonde-haired girl from earlier.
"Tight duel Jacob" Jacob heard a voice from behind him say.
Jacob turned around to see two guys standing behind him leaning on the rail where Drake was stood earlier. One kid looked to be around Jacob's height, he had messy brown hair and brown eyes, he wore a red shirt and an unzipped black jacket. The other guy was really short, he came up to the the brown haired guy's shoulder. This kid had wild light blue hair, grey eyes, and glasses. This kid looked like he was very unpopular in middle school, he wore a navy blue shirt.
"Thanks" replied Jacob.
"From the looks of it you might just be the second best duelist here." said the brown haired kid
'Second best?' thought Jacob, but his thoughts were interrupted by the PA system.
"Jaden Yuki please report to exam field 4."
"Go time." the kid name Jaden said enthusiastically "Wish me luck guys."
The kid named Jaden turned around and began to walk towards the doors to go into the lobby.
"Wait" said Jacob stopping Jaden in his tracks "if I'm the second best, who's the first?"
"Yours truly. It's what I'm best at." replied Jaden as he continued out the doors.
"Wow he's so sure of himself. I wonder if he's really that good." said the blue-haired kid.
"He's going to need to be" said someone sitting to the left of Jacob. Apparently this guy, black hair that was spiked out behind his head, light grey eyes, and a heavy British accent, had been eavesdropping. "Look who's he's dueling."
The guy who was just speaking pointed to the 4th exam field to acknowledge someone standing on the right side of the field. It was a man (or women Jacob wasn't too sure) with long blonde hair and a long blue duel blazer. This man (or women) had what seemed to be an industrial sized duel disk.
Jacob saw the kid named Jaden come up slowly from the floor platform of the exam field.
'This kid must be really good…or really full of himself' Jacob thought. 'but who is this guy…lady…person he's dueling. I'll ask this guy'
"Hey uhhh…"said Jacob trying to get the kid's attention sitting next to him.
"Bastion. Bastion Misawa."
"Right, Bastion." said Jacob "who is the person that kid is dueling?"
"That is Dr. Vellian Crowler" said Bastion "he's a department chair at Duel Academy."
'Really," thought Jacob 'a department chair. That's not fair. Of course we will see how good this kid is. But I don't think he'll be able to win'
'Is that so' Jacob heard a voice in his head say.
'What the hell? I'm hearing voices in my head' Jacob thought
'Relax dude, it's me, Drake' Drake's voice resounded in his head.
'What the fuck dude? You can read minds?' Jacob thought.
'No I can't read minds I can only talk through thoughts. It's pretty cool. But I can only talk to people who have element traces. Which means I can only talk to you and my cousin James, it's a really limited technique.'
'Can you teach me how to do this'
'No sorry only me and James can do this technique…but you can talk back with us like you're doing now'
'Why can't I do this technique' questioned Jacob
'It's something that uses my darkness powers and since James' light abilities are opposites to my dark abilities that's probably why he's able to use this technique as well.'
'Wait…you said you can't read minds but you're having a conversation with me in my head' thought Jacob 'how does that work?'
'I can't read minds, because I can only use this with you and James. But I can hear your thoughts' responded Drake.
'So you can't read OTHER people's minds but you can hear MY thoughts'
'Alright I get it I'll stay out of your thoughts. I'll only use this technique if it's a dire emergency.' Drake's voice said
'Drake. Drake.' Thought Jacob. There was no response
'Ok he's gone. What was I thinking about again?' thought Jacob 'I can't remember. I guess I'll watch the rest of the duel.
Jacob looked at exam field four, to see what was happening in the duel. The proctor had an Ancient Gear Golem on his (or her) side of the field and the Jaden kid had a Winged Kuriboh in defense mode.
"Ancient Gear Golem attack" Jacob heard the proctor yell.
The Ancient Gear Golem launched a punch at the defending Winged Kuriboh destroying it.
"Hmmm that's odd" said the proctor "your life points haven't changed."
"My gear is fine. On the turn Winged Kuriboh I take zero damage." stated Jaden.
The proctor's face looked shocked and gasps could be heard around the dome.
'Nice. Using that Winged Kuriboh to save himself, otherwise he would've just lost.' Jacob thought.
Jacob looked back up to the upper level to see the blonde-haired girl he saw earlier. She was talking to that guy with the long dark blue-black hair. Was that her boyfriend? Jacob didn't know. At that moment the blonde-haired girl looked in his direction. The two of them locked eye contact.
She looked Jacob and began to blush and slightly turned her head to look away from Jacob.
Jacob smirked as he thought 'I hope I see her around school'
Jacob looked back at exam field four and he noticed there were holograms of buildings on the field and that Jaden guy had a Flame Wingman on the field and Dr. Crowler (Jacob remember that's what Bastion said his…or her name was) still had Ancient Gear Golem on the field.
"Alright Flame Wingman" Jaden shouted "go show those heroics and attack that Ancient Gear Golem."
"Fine by me, bring him on. This silly little skyscraper field spell card hasn't lowered my Golem's attack level by one point." said Dr. Crowler
Jaden's Flame Wingman jumped off of the skyscraper it was standing on and dove towards Crowler's monster. Flame Wingman landed right in front of Ancient Gear Golem when it leaped back into the air.
"You know what teach you're right. This Skyscraper field hasn't lowered your golem's attack points, what it's done is raise my Elemental Hero Flame Wingman's by a grand total of 1000 points." Stated Jaden.
"WAIT TIME OUT." Yelled the proctor Dr. Crowler.
"Go" exclaimed Jaden. "Skydive Scorcher"
His monster who was still in the air began to dive down towards Crowler's Ancient Gear Golem as his attack points rose from 2100 to 3100. Jaden's Flame Wingman collided with the Gear Golem causing it to collapse. Gasps and sounds of awe were heard throughout the entire dome.
"This can't be. He was my very best card" yelled the proctor as a piece of the Golem fell on his head.
"And 'cause of my Wingman's superpower, the attack points of that golem are dealt straight to your life points. Sweet huh?"
"No way" said Dr. Crowler as the rest of his Golem fell on him and his life points dropped to zero.
Jaden: 2000 Dr. Crowler: 0
Applause and cheers erupted throughout the entire dome.
'Wow that kid won.' Jacob thought 'he was as good as he claimed to be. I think I found my new rival for the school year.'
"Alright, yea Jaden" cheered the blue haired kid behind Jacob.
Jacob got up from his seat and began to walk out the doors into the lobby. He started walking to the exit doors when he saw Ami and Mary (for like the 3rd time today) again.
"Congrats once again" Ami and Mary said in unison.
"Thanks."
"Well since you made the academy I guess I will see you next Monday at school." said Ami.
"Yea I guess so." Replied Jacob as he continued out the exit doors. "I'll see you both next Monday." He called back.
Jacob stood outside of the dome to see his mother's car parked. Jacob walked over to the car and opened the passenger door.
"How long have you been out here?" asked Jacob as he got into the car.
"Oh only about 10 minutes. How was your exam honey?" asked Mrs. White.
"Well I found out I got a perfect score on the writing part and I just got a perfect score on the dueling part. So it's safe to say I'm going to be going to Duel Academy starting next Monday." Said Jacob
"That's wonderful Jacob, I'm so proud of you"
Mrs. White started the car and began to drive out of the parking lot.
'Yea I'm going to be at Duel Academy. Maybe I'll be able to find out who that girl was.' Jacob thought.
Jacob looked out of the window on the drive home, lost in his thoughts as the city passed him by.
